【Price Polarization in Japan: Commodities Rise, Services Fall】
Recently, the polarization of Japanese prices has become apparent.
Among consumer prices in June, goods such as food rose 4.9% year-on-year, while services such as transportation and entertainment fell by 0.3%. For 14 consecutive months, there has been a divergence of ups and downs.
From the perspective of commodity inflation, the rise in import prices brought about by higher resource prices has a direct impact. The downturn in service prices is a clear reflection of entrenched deflationary pressures such as sluggish domestic demand and weak wage growth.
